WASHINGTON  Seeking swift action on immigration, President Barack Obama on Tuesday will try to rally public support behind his proposals for giving millions of illegal aliens a pathway to citizenship, as well as making improvements to the legal immigration system and border security.

The president will launch his push in a campaign-style event in Las Vegas, a day after a bipartisan group of senators unveiled their own plan for addressing an issue that has languished in Washington for years.

Administration officials said Obama would largely endorse the senators’ efforts, though immigration advocates said they expected the president’s own proposals to be more progressive than the Senate group’s plan, including a faster pathway to citizenship.

The simultaneous immigration campaigns were spurred by the November presidential election, in which Obama won an overwhelming majority of Hispanic voters. The results caused Republican lawmakers who had previously opposed an immigration overhaul to reconsider in order to rebuild the party’s reputation among Hispanics, an increasingly powerful political force.

Most of the recommendations Obama will make Tuesday are not new. He outlined an immigration blueprint in May 2011 but exerted little political capital to get it passed by Congress, to the disappointment of many Hispanics.

Another Obama plan and reward for a wedge group. Are these people to be covered by Medicad? He said no, now what. We tired this with the Immigration Act of 1986 signed by Reagan and pushed by Ted Kennedy and now we see the consqeuences. He gave amnesty to over 10 million, now another 12 million have flocked here for the same free cititenship benefits and freebies again. The GOP is looking for cheap labore for their Wall ST. masters and the Democrats for votes. The working middle class foots the bill.We have a dismal economy, $3 gasoline and $3 for a loaf of bread, high unemployment and this goofball wants to add more misery on us. 4 more years added onto his 4 yrs and Bush's 8 and we continue to slide backward toward a 3rd world country in pay and looks.
